Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations bald cypress next to pond?

Two potential problems I can think of:

1) Water loss as the tree transpirates pond water. This may be no problem at all if there's plenty of watershed and precipitation.

2) Increased organics into the pond with implications wrt silting up and water quality. This has not kept me from trying to get 3-4 trees on the South side of my pond (nowhere near the dam) for shade and fishing lure storage.
